Reviews for Hostal El Dorado
Review 1：No wi fi in the bedroom - only available in the reception area.
Review 2：The swimming pool. The comfortable bed. The balcony. The wide choice of breakfast. The exotic planting all around the hotel. Very clean and safe.
Review 3：Lovely room and balcony with fine views East and North; excellent staff in reception, breakfast and looking after our room; wild and unspoilt coastline in Parque Natural for walking , cycling and swimming; all with a backdrop of the Sierra;
Review 4：Minor point but hot-drink making facility in the room would have been nice.
Review 5：Nice welcome, good restaurant and breakfast, wonderful terrace. Great room.
Review 6：No internet in room, slow in lobby, uncomfortable bed, shower was clogged.
Review 7：Location is okay, staff was nice and let us cancel our 6 nights after 2 nights. There was to much wind on the beach and we decided to leave. Luckily the staff was nice enough to cancel our stay at no additional charge.
Review 8：Everything was great. If I have to say something: a shower curtain would be nice, but this is a mere detail.
Review 9：Great location, walking distance from San Jose center. Beautiful room with large balcony with view of the ocean. Nice swimming pool
Review 10：Fantastic views,room very clean and comfortable ,excellent buffet style continental breakfast, superb value for money.We stayed 2 days and wished we had booked for longer.

Review 12：View from the balcony. Chosen TWIN room and received DOUBLE - good, that they brought an extra mattress
Review 13：Beautiful view, nice to have a large balcony, nice building. The village and the beaches really nice. Good airconditioning made the heat tolerable. Refrigerator is a must in this heat, but it wasn't functioning to the best
Review 14：no wifi at the rooms (worked only in the first floor)
Review 15：Lovely hotel with family atmosphere and friendly staff, always making the best to help us. On request changed our room for better one - with large terrace and in the highest floor. The view at the sea and the whole city was just amazing. We also loved the breakfast with wide selection of food and chill music in the background. Hope to stay here again soon!
Review 16：The double bed was not comfy. To hard and with just one big hard pillow. No wifi in the rooms
Review 17：The location and view. Lovely garden and pool. The breakfastbuffet was good.
Review 18：pillow was very firm, but we did see something about other pillow types but there were none in the room - we should have asked I guess
Review 19：location, staff, breakfast, cleanliness
Review 20：Nothing, but some people may have difficulty with the short, steep climb up the road to the hostal.
Review 21：Comfortable and clean room, with included air-con and safe. Friendly & helpful staff. Well maintained gardens leading to swimming pool. Great views to the town and port at the front and to the hills behind. Good start to the day with the buffet breakfast.
Review 22：On the booking.com website they say that wifi is available but they don't mention it is only available in the reception area and my phone couldn't connect to it. The swimming pool is only open until 8 p.m which was disappointing as I hoped for late swim.
Review 23：I liked the swimming pool, views, proximity to town centre. Staff friendly and attentive.
Review 24：No wifi in the room and low one at the lobby.

Review 39：Hard bed, strange long pillow to share
Review 40：Lovely helpful staff, good facilities, decent shower, good continental breakfast
Review 41：Nothing much, maybe as someone else has said more shower gel as this wasn't always replaced.
Review 42：Lovely little B&B, quiet and spacious, comfortable accommodation. Very adequate breakfast
Review 43：Restaurant and bar was closed during our stay so no way to get a drink of any sort. This was not helped by no tea/coffee tray in room.
Review 44：Lovely locatuon and friendly staff
Review 45：One word of caution to those unsteady on their feet - it is a steepish walk up to the hostal and their are a number of steps up to the rooms and some steps in the room down to the bathroom. This has caused us to rethink a stay with my mother-in-law who is old and unsteady and would find the place too much of a challenge.
Review 46：This a great value hostal, with fabulous views from the room's balcony, down over the town, across the bay and out to sea. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the breakfast offers a great selection from cereals, orange juice, with ham, cheese and tomato to make your own tostadas, and plenty of good cofffee.
Review 47：The pillows supplied in the room were uncomfortable, but we realised too late that you can actually request different types of pillows.
Review 48：Amazing view, delicious breakfast and very friendly, helpful staff
Review 49：We stayed at El Dorado for the third time and everything was as it should be: the friendlyness of the owner, the cleaniness of the room, the hotel room was like an appartment with a fantastic view over the bay of San Jose.
Review 50：Nothing, super reccomended. The only problem may be the fact that there are quite some steps/stairs in case you have mobility issues.
Review 51：Nice, clean and comfortable room, terrace with amazing sea view, quiet, super friendly staff, pillow menu (!!), position close to town's centre, very good hotel's restaurant, good breakfast on the restaurant's terrace with sea view, value for money... well, actually we loved everything about the hotel!
Review 52：Terrible coffee with breakfast buffet - would have been happy to pay for fresh coffee Pool a bit small, and not much room for sitting around the pool
Review 53：Location - great view of San Jose and the sea. Staff all very helpful and friendly - nice, clean room - easy to get to all local amenities
Review 54：The breakfast had a few very nice things: excellent fresh tomato, olive oil and whole bread, and fruit. But I missed some homemade cakes ;-)
Review 55：The room is large and with an awesome terrace looking to the sea. The San Jose area is one of the best beach spots in Spain. If you like true Mediterranean towns mixed with wonderful wild beaches (I love Genoveses) this area is a must. The location of the hotel is great, quiet but close to everything in San Jose. We did not move the car in 5 days.
Review 56：Our hotel was only 2* we felt it should be at least 3*. Our room was great value for money with a private terrace and amazing views.. was a perfect get away place for myself and my boyfriend. The staff was really helpful and lovely. We was located a short walk from the town and the hotel offered a bike hire service which was fab and showed us all the route to take. Overall we had a lovely weekend and would recommend this hotel to anyone.
Review 57：We had hoped to leave early in the morning, but found out in the morningthat reception did not open until 9 - so had to wait to pay.
Review 58：We were here in the off season and got an excellent room with a greatview of the sea at a great price. Really enjoyed our dinner at the hotelrestaurant and nice breakfast the next morning. Staff at reception andat the restaurant were great.
